Early Tongans at Victoria University of Wellington

When I arrived at Victoria
University they were telling me about the other Tongan who had been there,
Mana Latu, who is now retired as a long term secondary teacher here in
Tonga. Throughout the universities in New Zealand at that time, there
might have been Clive Edwards, who was finishing his law studies at Auckland
University at the time. There were not that many Tongan students at university
in New Zealand in 1960.Next,

Dick, the British and Tonga

The sight of the island of
Tafahi, in Tonga's isolated Niua group, should be enough to remind anyone
that some Tongans have good reason to look for opportunities in the big,
wide world.
